1. Fuzzy

Young (4 months 27 days) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 4 mi from Oakland

Hi, we are Cici (calico) & Fuzzy (Black)! A couple of sweet girls ready for our forever homes! We were abandoned when we were only six or seven weeks old to fend for ourselves. Luckily one of 7WHSKRS volunteers found us and has been taking care of us ever since. We were so afraid and so scared and so lonely… But we are super sweet and super happy little girls now! We love to play and snuggle up to our foster mommy! We are getting a little bit bigger every day so hurry up and get us while we are still little! We will love you forever. We would love to be adopted together, but it is not required as long as you have another furry friend for us to bond with!

Adopting a cat in Oakland

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
